Valados de Melgaço Alvarinho 2024 comes from Monção e Melgaço, the northernmost part of Portugal’s Vinho Verde region and one of the reference areas for the Alvarinho grape.

The wine shows lime, green apple and ripe pear, followed by white flowers and subtle stone-fruit notes. The palate is dry and energetic, with bright acidity, a gently textured mid-palate from time on the fine lees, and a mineral, saline finish.

Granite soils and the cooler climate of Monção e Melgaço give this Alvarinho a combination of aromatic fruit and freshness without making the wine feel light or simple. It is a versatile Portuguese white that works equally well as an aperitif or at the table.

Food Pairing: Pair with oysters, clams, grilled shrimp, octopus, ceviche, sushi, white fish, seafood rice, fresh salads, or goat cheese.

Serve chilled around 48–52°F.
